1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Exercise to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a novel approach that has only become recognized in the past decade. High-intensity gait training (HIGT) has been studied in subjects following stroke; however, little research investigates similar protocols on patients with TBI. The study evaluated HIGT as an intervention for enhancing patient recovery after TBI. Adult subjects (18-65 years) who suffered TBI were randomly allocated to an intervention (HIGT) or control (low-intensity physical therapy) group given three days/week for 1 h over four weeks. Assessments included the 10-m walk test, 6-min walk test, Berg Balance Scale, five-times sit-to-stand (5TSTS), timed up and go (TUG), cognitive TUG, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at day one, two weeks, four weeks, and a four-week follow-up. In addition to a trend toward improved gait speed (
